Rest is an important part of productivity in any activity. However, not everyone knows how to really relax. In this article, we will talk about how to do this usefully and effectively.
Why and how to rest
Rest breaks should be taken several times a day. During the work day, you need to rest every 90 minutes or until you feel that you have lost concentration. It is important to realize that rest is not a luxury and does not make you a lazy person, but, on the contrary, increases your productivity.
In order for the brain to fully rest, it is enough to follow the basic principles of healthy sleep: sleep 7-9 hours at night, regularly ventilate the bedroom and make sure that it is dark in it.
Scientists have found that in order to effectively and efficiently perform tasks, a person needs several micro-breaks so that he can be distracted, move around and have a snack. Ideally, take breaks lasting 10 minutes several times a day and one long one - 30 minutes.
What happens if you don't let your brain rest
During the day, the brain processes incoming information and conversations for hours. If you do not let him relax, your mood, productivity and health will suffer.
Therefore, mental rest is so necessary - periods when you do not concentrate and do not interact with the outside world, but let your thoughts soar in the clouds.
